We aren't really mindcraft fans... but are die hard Lego enthusiasts so we got this set. My son (who is 5) absolutely loves that there is a hidden robot and that you can move around the elements. Recommend!

My (everything is)awesome(!) girlfriend got me this for Valentine's Day and we had an amazing and fun time building it. It's not too difficult and not too easy, plus the interactiveness of the Iron Golam and platform makes it more fun to play. Definitely worth the price.

This set is great, but it's really only a good buy for fans of minecraft. For someone who doesn't like minecraft, there are a lot of things in this set that they will not be able to use, and there are better options.
Pros: This set comes with lots of good minecraft related parts. For any minecraft fan, this set would be fantastic, and I would recommend it! Here are the various minecraft components you get:
-A crafting table
-A furnace
-A torch
-A diamond pickax
-An iron ore block
-A pumpkin
-A flower
And of course, you get a Zombie, a pig, Alex, and an Iron Golem. It also has many standard stone blocks and dirt blocks. For someone who's into minecraft, specifically lego minecraft, this is a great way to grow your collection. The only thing in this set that you would not need two of is Alex. You could even purchase multiple of these if you're looking to stock up on pigs, zombies, or iron golems.
The set is also very playable. There is a cool feature where you can build an iron golem out of blocks and a pumpkin, and then flip a switch to make a real iron golem pop out of the ground. While it may be a little hard to put together, the end result is undeniably cool.
Cons: The main problem with this set is that it's not a good buy for non-minecraft fans. There are lots of parts with minecraft related prints that wouldn't be useful to standard builders. And the minifigures have obvious minecraft prints on them, so the only part of the minifigures you can use for anything else is the legs. This set is probably a waste of money if you're buying it for someone who's not into the game. While many LEGO sets are good for almost anyone, this one is targeted towards a specific demographic. It doesn't make the set bad, but you have to know who to buy it for.
In short, make sure the person you're buying this for is a minecraft fan. If they're not, I recommend getting a 20 dollar City or Creator set, they will probably enjoy it much more. However, if they ARE a minecraft fan, they're sure to love this set.
